Walgreens Cart Refill for Epson?
Arthur Entlich wrote: I'll save some people that modest fee and back alley antics: Most Epson printers can have the waste ink pad protection numbers reset via the program found he http://www.ssclg.com/epsone.shtml Read the manual that comes with it with care. Unfortunately, that program is not available for Mac systems. That is really good. Mac users will have a clean workplace free from ink all over the place. Be aware that if reset too many times, waste ink may begin to leak out of the printer and onto your nice things. Some printers cost quite a bit to have the waste ink pads replaced. A better approach if you can find the service manuals is to extend the hose going to the waste ink pads, and move that outside the printer and into a small bottle. This collects all the ink outside, leaving the waste ink pads relatively empty. Art DB-W wrote: In article , "Phillip. J.

Mess up your heads, and you will need to buy a new printer (or pay $$$ to have it repaired). At least with HP's and some others, the heads are part of the cart, so if the ink is bad, you just change the cart. You are right that caution is advisable when selecting aftermarket inks for refilling. That is true for Epsons because of the fixed printhead, but it is also true of the majority of Canon printers. Who wants to replace a printhead, even though it is removeable! snipped there is also some mention of a chip resetter. Which it seems like I have to email someone. For a long time I have been refilling Epson 1290 and 1270 cartridges up to five or six times without any problems. A chip resetter helps, although you can put a new cartridge in the machine after unpeeling the air vent, return the carriage to base for it to do its gyrations, unscrew and remove the top cover, and replace the new cartridge with a refilled one. The machine usually doesn't notice the swap and you can put the new one back into its box for next time. Put some masking tape over the pierced outlets top and bottom before you do. Two important points, only refill genuine Epson cartridges, as they have non-flooding valves in the base. Compatible carts are sometimes impenetrable and need plastic tape stuck to the ink outlets to avoid flooding and this *will* cause problems when re-inserted in the machine. My favourite Epson 'gotcha' is when the head has been cleaned umpteen times and the red light stays on permanently. The cleaning counting chip assumes that the blotting paper inside, which mops up the excess ink from the cleaning process, has become saturated and is in danger of leaking onto your nice new IKEA desktop. Take the printer to your friendly back street (not high street) computer expert who, for a modest fee, should be able to find the necessary alien software to reset the counter. All at your own risk, of course, and I have no experience of all-in-one machines or pigment based inks. DBW |
